VOLUNTEER ATTIRE: Every volunteer receives one Cavendish Beach Music Festival volunteer t-shirt. You must wear your shirt while working and change immediately after your shift. We prefer that volunteers also wear khaki pants or shorts. If you would like to purchase additional volunteer t-shirts, you may do so by emailing us. Please be advised to wear comfortable shoes as shifts require you to be on your feet for long periods of time. No sandals or flip flops.

MEALS AND BEVERAGES: Water will be provided to all volunteers while working. Alcoholic beverages may not be consumed before or during your shift or at any time that you are wearing your volunteer t-shirt. Violation of this rule will result in immediate dismissal and forfeit of your registration and any benefits that you may have earned. Meal tokens will be provided to volunteers during their breaks.
